Who is winning the beard battle?

Who has the best “playoff beard” on the Kings? There’s a runaway winner, but watch below as Colin Fraser — who certainly will have a second career in TV if he chooses — interviews teammates to get their thoughts. Also, Darryl Sutter was asked about the prodigious playoff beard of Dustin Penner, and give a tidbit into his own past…

SUTTER: “I remember trying to grow a mustache when I was about 20, and how funny it looked. I imagine he’s had a beard since he was 4 or 5, right?”

Question: Was that your first and last attempt?

SUTTER: “No. That used to be the thing. It wasn’t beards back then. It mustaches or sideburns. Because, quite honestly, there were a lot of teams that didn’t allow — you couldn’t have hair that was (more than) an inch below your helmet, things like that. So it was sort of like what you see in baseball, where you weren’t allowed to grow mustaches. The Yankees’ rule, and things like that. It’s a good rule. I used to take Mike Ricci’s hair… I used to tease Mike Ricci when he would sit on the bench, and his hair would be below his (jersey) nameplate. I would take his hair and (push it to the side) and go, `Oh…Ricci.”’

    I caught a glimpse of Rich in the background there, and I noticed he was clean shaven. Gotta love the fact that Rich stays neutral no matter what.

    Penner is such a funny guy. You really want to like him, and I couldn’t be happier that he’s stepped up big these playoffs.

    Kings face easily their toughest challenge off the playoffs. Regular season not withstanding the Coyotes always play us tough AND get the b.s. breaks. We really want to win the first one in order to avoid gripping our sticks too tight. Kings in 6 or its wait until next year (which will look promising but seriously unfulfilling right now). Yes I called my shot AND before anyone questions my team loyalty – I haven’t missed a game on t.v. in 3 yrs.

    @red49er, AFTER taking down the 1 and 2 seeds, THIS is our biggest challenge?? I think not. The Yotes, while playing well, beat 1 team with NO defense (Chi), and 1 team with limited offence(Preds). They haven’t seen nothing like us !

    Go Kings

    PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES & BEYOND!

    For those roadrunning over to or already occupying PHX for Game 1 tomorrow, to counter the Coyotes ‘Whiteout’ it seems natural to bring over our very own ‘BLACKOUT’, true?
    This being agreed (hopefully) can anyone get their hands on a whole bunch of ‘plain black rally towels’? It would just add to the profile of the invading Kings army, and I’m sure everyone would contribute a few $ to be part of that.
    Secondly, it seems the most mentioned meeting point is ‘Margaritaville, located at 6751 N.Sunset, a hop and a skip from Jobing.com.
    There we can get pregame refreshments and mingle, in that particular order, and maybe put the Wile Es up some of the locals, eh?
    This part of the plan is kind of important as I have it on impeccable authority that the Kings official camera crew will be in the vicinity. And you know what that means, right? End of season DVD mugtime!!
    Let’s all meet up there at 4pm, or before if you like, and get the party started early!
    After that we can make our way en masse across to the arena and show the Yotes fans what we are all about!
    If anyone has any caveats or points to add, please do so below.
    Also, feel free to email me at: greenelawn26@gmail.com with your screen name, actual name, and cell no.. Promise to use it wisely.
    Really looking forward to meeting you all and spending a great and victorious night together in deepest, darkest enemy territory!

    Cheers, Duncanz ~

    @Duncanz, I love the idea about the towels. I wish this would have came up sooner. I could of made this happen and even printed “go kings go” on them or something like that. I having screen printing business and could ordered the towels for dirt cheap.
